url not working via exit.php

Post by suretec »

Please see:

http://blog.suretecsystems.com/archives ... nLDAP.html

Link is the "It's the Directory, Stupid" one.

Why is it not working?

Internally it is:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2222974,00.asp">It's the Directory, Stupid</a>
Where is this exit.php configured and why is it used? For statistics?

Also, a bug in comments using

Code: Select all

*bold*, *bold*, *bold*
Doesn't seem to parse

Code: Select all

*, *
correctly

I'm on 1.2

Thanks.

Hi!

Seems like you already removed the exit tracking from your blog?

Yes, s9y cannot parse the "*" if a non-space character comes after the asterisk. THis is to prevent invalid formatting if "*" comes within a word or other surroundings.

OK, accepted re your "*" comments, but since *word*, *word* is quite common, a fixed test for this might be ok?

I disabled exit tracking this morning, as we use Google Analytics anyway, so no point. I also couldn't see where the tracking was used in the admin panel? In the statistics section?

But then also *word*! or *word*. would need to be covered as well. Currently the plugin uses the "\B" boundary operator, I'm not really sure how to change that RegExp, because the plugin's coding is actually ancient before the time I took on s9y :)

Yes, exit tracking is used in the statistics panel as "top exits"...
